The Penn-StARR Program for Research in Residency

总结 为了解决人们普遍认识到的医生-科学家劳动力的下降，需要新的方法来 招募有才华的医生从事研究，作为他们的医疗培训和未来的一个组成部分 careers.刺激住院医师研究机会（StARR）计划将提供一个新的接入点 通过加速居民在住院期间进入有意义的研究追求进行研究。这个大胆 倡议将产生，并要求，在研究生医学教育的实质性变化。在这里，我们建议 宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）-StARR计划，该计划将利用一个有才华和高度积极性的人才库， 内科、家庭医学、病理学和儿科的不同住院医师。Penn-StARR计划 将为这些居民提供机会，在使命范围内进行指导性研究。 国家心脏、肺和血液研究所（NHLBI）该计划将利用一个蓬勃发展， 互动的医生-科学家社区受益于对培训的强有力的机构承诺， 招聘和提高医生-科学家的地位，特别是那些来自 生物医学科学Penn-StaRR将成为一个更大的机构努力的锚，以支持医生- 科学家的发展和职业生涯。宾夕法尼亚大学-StARR计划将独特地提供以下研究机会： 每年为3名住院医生提供住院治疗，以进行12个月的重点研究，并结合临床培训， 尽早开始，同时保持专业委员会认证所需的临床培训。的 宾夕法尼亚大学-StARR计划的独特之处在于：杰出的、多样化的、积极的居民池; 居民对研究职业培训的现有需求;对医生的强有力的机构支持- 科学家培训，这在基础设施、项目和医生-科学家培训的势头中很明显 已经到位;机构承诺支持通过国家法律基础设施供资以外的一个时段; 代表与NHLBI相关的不同研究领域的优秀教师;以及完全整合的校园 与跨部门和机构的一个非常互动的研究环境。

Summary To address the widely recognized decline in the physician-scientist workforce, new approaches are needed to recruit talented physicians to pursue research as an integral part of their medical training and their future careers. The Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (StARR) initiative will provide a new point of access to research by accelerating the entry of residents into meaningful research pursuits during residency. This bold initiative will engender, and require, a substantial change in graduate medical education. Here we propose the University of Pennsylvania (Penn)-StARR program, which will tap into a talented and highly motivated pool of diverse residents in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pathology, and Pediatrics. The Penn-StARR program will provide opportunities for these residents to pursue mentored research on topics within the mission of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The program will take advantage of a thriving and interactive physician-scientist community that has benefitted from a strong institutional commitment to training, recruitment, and advancement of physician-scientists, particularly those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. Penn-StaRR will become an anchor for a larger institutional effort to support physician- scientist development and careers. The Penn-StARR program will uniquely provide access to research in residency for 3 residents per year to pursue 12 months of focused research integrated with clinical training and starting as early as possible while maintaining the clinical training required for specialty board certification. The unique features of the Penn-StARR program are: the outstanding, diverse, and motivated resident pool; an existing demand from residents for training for research careers; strong institutional support for physician- scientist training that is evident in the infrastructure, programs, and momentum for physician-scientist training already in place; institutional commitment to support a slot beyond those funded through NHLBI; an outstanding faculty representing diverse areas of research relevant to NHLBI; and a fully integrated campus with an exceptionally interactive research environment across departments and institutions.
